Vacuuming and Temple Square

A quick update with some pictures, because Logan is just that cute... :)

While Ryley and I were busy talking to our families on Sunday, Logan filled our water bottles up with dirt from our house plants and dumped them out on the TV stand.  Ryley actually watched him do it.... and didn't stop him.  Oh boys.
Here he is cleaning up his mess.

I really am sorry about all of the naked photos recently, but Logan knows how to get his clothes off and takes them off at every opportunity.  

Reading his dinosaur book and paying with stickers.  

At temple square!

Logan was so much fun this year.  He wanted to see every color of lights up close, and ran to every nativity.  He loved watching the big, narrated nativity, and sang along with the angels. :)  He sings along with everything now, even if he doesn't know the words, and he will read stories along with us, mumbling the words if he doesn't know them.  But he memorizes books after reading them once, so usually he knows the words. :)

Thanksgiving and December

I've decided that the holidays are much more fun when you have a two year old.  Watching Logan's eyes light up with every tradition we begin fills me with joy, and every day I realize more and more how blessed I am to have my sweet husband and silly little man.  Here is some of what we have been up to...

For Thanksgiving we headed to Ely and gained a good amount of weight on all the wonderful food there!  And, following tradition, we cut down our tree there.  I love the smell of pine so much that I'm pretty sure I'm completely against fake trees.

Riding in the back of the truck with the trees.

It was so warm in Ely over Thanksgiving!  Logan and Aydan spent many hours wearing each other out in my parent's backyard.

Ok, I know this isn't censored, but this picture just kills me.  Logan is now in a stage where he refuses to wear clothes...  apparently stickers don't bother him though. :)

Logan is also obsessed with caterpillars.  He make us wrap him up like this (in his cocoon) and then he unwraps the blanket and flaps his "beautiful butterfly" wings. :)

And, like a good son, he regularly cheers for BYU. Even when we are not watching a game.

My really silly guys

At Zoo Lights... so cold, but so worth it!

Logan did much better with Santa this year.  He stayed on his lap a whole30 seconds before escaping.  Santa was really great, and let Logan play with all the cool things on his suit to try and get him to talk to him. This year Logan asked Santa for a jumpolene. :)

Our frozen faces. :)  Just look at how handsome my husband is.  I am so glad that he was able to come with us, seeing as how it is his crazy-medical-school-finals week. 

Logan's favorite zoo light.  He regularly come up to me and tells me, "Mom, I'm a crocodile!"  He also transforms into a Back-son, Pirate, Lion, Dragon, and Vampire throughout the day.

Ignore my creepy frozen face... I just love Logan's smile in this one.

I probably won't get around to posting again until after the holidays, so  Merry Christmas everyone!
